Adverb
emo
Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *emō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁em- (“to take, distribute”), with excrescent p in ēmptum.
Cognate with Lithuanian im̃ti, Old Church Slavonic имѫ (imǫ) and possibly Old Armenian իմանամ (imanam). Possibly related to Proto-Indo-European *nem- (“to take or give one's due”), with its descendants English nim, Danish nemme, Dutch nemen, German nehmen, West Frisian nimme, Ancient Greek νέμω (némō).
Pronunciation
- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈɛ.moː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈɛː.mo]
Verb
emō (present infinitive emere, perfect active ēmī, supine ēmptum); third conjugation
- (transitive) to buy, purchase
- Synonyms: comparō, sūmō, coëmō
- Antonyms: vēndō, addīcō, dēferō
- Quantīs haec pōma ēmistī?
- How much have you paid for these fruits?
- (figuratively) to acquire, procure
Conjugation
1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
